#' Create radio buttons
#'
#' Create a set of radio buttons used to select an item from a list.
#'
#' If you need to represent a "None selected" state, it's possible to default
#' the radio buttons to have no options selected by using
#' \code{selected = character(0)}. However, this is not recommended, as it gives
#' the user no way to return to that state once they've made a selection.
#' Instead, consider having the first of your choices be \code{c("None selected"
#' = "")}.
#'
#' @inheritParams textInput
#' @param choices List of values to select from (if elements of the list are
#' named then that name rather than the value is displayed to the user)
#' @param selected The initially selected value (if not specified then
#' defaults to the first value)
#' @param inline If \code{TRUE}, render the choices inline (i.e. horizontally)
#' @return A set of radio buttons that can be added to a UI definition.
#'
#' @family input elements
#' @seealso \code{\link{updateRadioButtons}}
